One of our favorites, the Ig Nobel Peace Prize, was awarded to a research team for their study to determine—by experiment—whether it’s better to be smashed over the head by a full beer bottle or any empty one.

The Public Health Prize went to a team that developed a bra that can be used as two gas masks in an emergency.

A complete list of the winners can be found here. If you’re around MIT this Saturday, you can catch the Ig Informal Lectures, a free public talk where most of the winners will explain their work.
